Fishing with problems is better than the best day at work for sure. I do have videos posted catching king salmon and trout while bass fishin but im not sure which ones they are.

Thought I replied to you, I have my boat in the shop now, bought a new rope so my boat doesn’t take off on its own again and bought a new jerkbait. Things are looking up! 😂😂

@@JVig77 I might do that, gotta figure something out cause I dont wanna deal with that again. Haha. Thanks for the view and comment.

@@butchmontgomery3595 thanks man, I love my 374v but I have 2 issues with it, the rod locker doesnt fit longer than 6’6” rods and the deck doesn’t go all the way back to the helm. I damn near fall off the short deck every trip. Haha. But its one of the best hulls Rangers made, so Ive been told by quite a few people. With a 150hp engine and a 27” prop I hit 64mph, switched to a 23” due to ventilation issues and can still hit 60mph by myself when the wind is going with me on glass. Im plannin on sellin it to get something bigger when my pass to Folsom is up in March. Hate to part with her but I want more room.

Haha thats happened to me so many times. All my biggest fish are catfish lol. I got a 9 on a drop shot, a 7 on a swimbait, in 1 day got 30+lbs for 3 catfish at Clearlake lol. Im starting to think im just fishing wrong. 😂😂

@@Bassmandnz yah, those days kinda suck. Haha. Called my boat guy today and he’s tryin to get me in asap. Not sure when that will be though.

Hey man, Sorry for the late reply but I did the drawing yesterday and you got the A-Rig. Let me know what blades you want on it (Chrome, Gold, White, Chart) and how you want me to get it to you. Message me on IG if you want me to ship it you or I can meet up with you out at Folsom. Tight lines man.🎉

@@proambass8027 Wow, thanks man. I’d like the chrome blades. You get your rig fixed? I’ll be out there on Folsom tomorrow

@ Its in the shop right now, have a new throttle assy being installed and making sure that takes care of the “no oil” light. Could be the new lithium cranking battery I installed not being compatible with the gauge too. We’ll find out after the throttle assy is replaced. Where you launchin from? I am gonna be runnin some errands tomorrow and can leave it on your windshield if you like? Just need a truck description.

@ Browns is the only ramp open. I own a White 2017 Jeep Cherokee. I have a trail star trailer.

@@mikeneverve7570 Thanks and Happy New Year!!! Tight lines man.

@@jerkem5921 haha hey man, how’d you guys do? I hooked into a nice catfish and 1 small largie and that was it. I just saw Luke Johns got a 9lb’er last week. The New Years day tournament had crazy limits too!!! Im gonna try and get my boat in this week but i need to get back out there asap, im hearing huge bass being caught right now.

@proambass8027 we got some good spotted out there the biggest one was around 4lbs. You just have to make them bite.

@@jerkem5921 man if i knew how to make them bite I would. Haha. Im throwin what everyone else is to get the bigguns, just havent been at the right spot at the right time yet. When I get my boat back ill be able to hit more spots during the day. Good day man, glad you guys got on’em.

@@thnd-uo4vp Thanks bro, I think the fund raiser they were doing for the family ended. They took his jersey down a couple days ago. Really appreciate it though.

@@thnd-uo4vp Just saw your name too 100th/442nd, thats a pretty damn decorated regiment if im not mistaken? Thank you for your service. 🫡

@@proambass8027 You know your military history. That call sign is in honor of my dad. He was in the 100th battalion. He passed away many years ago, but if he were around he would have appreciated your acknowledgment.

Soo awesome man, my hats off to all service members especially from that battalion. Tight lines man.

Hopefully it wasnt in winter. I sunk a boat in January at Berryessa before and had to go swimming. Wasn’t fun. Hahaha.

No it was in May on Camp Farwest. 20 mh gust ,still cool swimming in the lake in my tightly whities. Did you get the boat back ?

@@jasongundros1422 That sucks, glad you got it back. I was sunk a Champion bass boat and even though it sunk it stayed just below the surface. I grabbed a rope, tied it around the pedestal seat and drug it as close to shore as possible. A passing trout fisherman went and got DF&G and he came out with a water pump. My bro and I had to get in the water and push up on the boat until the pump got enough water out of it to float again. Super rough conditions on the main body that day, I hit a wave doin 80mph and launched my boat, when it hit the plug popped out. Launched outta Cappel cove and made it to the narrows. Started fishin when i got there, heard a buzzing sound from the bilge, looked back and the whole back of the boat was under water. The water looked smooth until I hit main body, the 1st wave I hit completely launched to boat outta the water, even the prop was out of the water. Slammed suuuper hard when it came down.

It depends on what size of A-Rigs you want to make according to the wire diameter. I only make/use Flex rigs which is a 0.035” diameter wire but have made up to 0.040 for striper fishermen. The one I use is suited for both sizes of wire, PN#430207 on Barlows Tackle’s website.

So the .040 isn't considered the flex? I got both sizes.

@@hawghunter2024No, the flex is .035, it doesn’t sound like it but going from .035 to .040 is a pretty big difference in the diameter of the wire. A lot of anglers consider the .040 to be a “Normal” size rig. The body of water I fish has high pressure on the lake and is super clear, normally 10+ ft of water clarity so the smaller the wire the better for people around me.

Ok. The lakes I fish most of the time are highly pressured so I like the thinner option. Thanks for responding. HAWGS!

@ Tight lines man.

Heck yah man, haven’t heard from you in awhile. Ive been getting out but struggling with boat and suv issues so even though im goin out im barely fishin haha.

Thanks man, how are you doing? Calling my guy tomorrow to see when he can get me in.

@ headed to Clear Lake today for the week.

@@brucebroadwater8198 ohh man so awesome. Got a tournament or just for fun?

Lmfao, damn thing wouldn’t shut up cause the gauge would lose power then come back on and start beeping again. Over and over and over. Hahahaha.

@@davidsullivan27 any time man, im gonna make a 5 wire mini a-rig this weekend and will post the video soon. Thanks for the view and comment.

@@mattperry6965 Thanks man. Appreciate it.

@@bobbarton4619 Ya know there’s only 2 times outta the year that most people throw A-Rigs. Its right now and around spawn time, its when there’s a ton of baitfish. Honestly, I know when to start throwin them when people start ordering them haha. Ive heard the smaller, 3 wire rigs work better for bodies of water that have constant pressure on the fish. I always throw the 5 wire though, I’ll have to try the mini 3 wire. I’ve thrown the mini 3 wire just to make sure it swims correctly but always find myself going back to the 5 wire.

@@rudyz558 Thanks man, I have other A-Rig videos where I don’t screw up so much on my channel as well. I’ll make other videos soon where I dont screw up showing other tips/tricks.

@@jasongundros1422 I bought my first A-Rig for 20$ and within 5 casts an arm pulled out. I was pissed at the lack of quality which is why I use single wires for the secondary arms, so there’s no way the arms can fall out like the crimped ones. I knew I could make something better, showed a couple of people who showed a couple of people and it just snowballed. I hate getting ripped off, I hate that these things are 25$+ for a few wires, a few blades and some swivels. So I made my own.

What size crimping sleeves did you order from Amazon? I have a roll of .032 wire I have from barlows and was wondering what size crimping sleeves you recommend

@ The wire I get is .035” and the crimps i get are .037” inner diameter. You have to be careful when buying crimps, some use ID=Inner Diameter, others use OD=outer diameter, some use inches, some use mm’s so once you find a crimp that works for you order a bunch. Haha. I have soo many of the wrong size due to not paying attention. You use a smaller diameter wire than I do so order it just slightly bigger than the diameter of the wire.

@@Bassmandnz Thanks man, hit me up on IG and let me know what you’re looking for.

@ will, do.

​@proambass8027 i have 3 regular ones you made for me, and they work great. I need to get a couple of these too.

@@CMill88 Tight lines as well. Message me on IG. If you dont have IG I can give you my email addy.

@@CMill88 Yah the tools can be pretty expensive but I figured if im gonna keep using A-Rigs id rather make my own then keep buyin’em for 25$ a pop. You can send me a message on IG, I don’t really advertise too much cause word of mouth is crazy with A-Rigs and I never run out of business.

I’d like to buy some complete 5 wires!

@@kevinshowalter7835 Thanks man, if you have IG can you hit me up there so I can get your info? Appreciate it man.

Hey Bro, I did my drawing this morning and your name popped up. If you want to hmu on IG i’ll send you the mini 3 wire A-Rig. Or message me at proambassca@gmail.com

@@JMBFISHING87 I buy the wire of Ebay from some dood. I’ll get you a link and the sellers name in a little bit.

@ thank you!

@@tressbassin haha for sure, I screwed up so many times making this. I cut most of it out though. Funny how you forget stuff when you stop makin’em.

@ hahaha. I need some of those flex ones haha

@@bryanholtan6270 It’s called Ruby’s Stainless Steel Flux. I got it off Amazon, works great!!!

Thanks man. The crimp pliers I got off Amazon and the wire former is from Boggs I believe. I think I have the links in the description, if not I’ll link them here.

@@Ballin21 To keep the costs down I buy some of the least expensive barrel swivels I can find honestly of Amazon. But there is zero stress on them, I always tug on them pretty good before I add them to the rig, cause once they’re on theres no getting them off. Id rather they break in my hands than on the rig. Ive never had one of them break on my rig that ive used but ive had them break in my hand. If your worried about it buy a better brand though.

I got the looping pliers from Hobby Lobby and the crimper tool off Amazon. Its been a couple years since I bought them but i’ll look them up and post them here when I find them. Should be just a couple hours when i get home.

Oh dang, congrats on the 4 1/2. Ive been throwin bigger baits trying to to get the bigger ones but no luck yet. Hope u crush’em tomorrow.

@ thanks man!

@@proambass8027 quick little update. Hit the trifecta last Monday with a 3 pound 11 ounce Largie kicker. Smallie was about 2 and spot was fat at 2 and a half pounds. Slow rolling the Cali finesse A rig from Bass Union was key with Keitech 3” sexy shad baits.

Thanks for the view/comment man, appreciate it. Hope you had a Happy Halloween 🎉

For sure, I go there every week so it seems like im always struggling…I just gotta remember im out at Folsom and its normal. Hahaha. Thanks for the view/comment.

In this video here I started out on the Peninsula on the Granite Bay side then I went up the North Fork. The deeper ledge spot is diagonally across from Granite Bay where that water pump house is at with the pipe going down to the water. Then I tried a number of other spots up to Anderson Island and finished my day on the rock island tops behind Anderson Island.

@@thnd-uo4vp That is hilarious. 😂. Yah when I get hot n hangry I turn in an absolute monster to be around. Start whining like a big ole baby. If I had a ladder on my boat I’d be jumping in the lake thats for sure. Without a ladder im afraid I wouldnt get my ass back in the boat. Hahahaha.

Glad its not just for me, I can never find the bigger ones in September/October. But I always keep trying 😂😂

@@mattyrock21 The size that works best for me is from a brand called Offshore Angler, I get them from Bass Pro Shops and they are size #4, I have them listed as 5/16”.

@@DpuckFishingandOutdoors hahaha that’s funny about the famous remark!!! Man ive been wanting to watch ur video on how u got fired and I will but it seems like the days are getting shorter and shorter. As always I appreciate your view and comments, I hope you’re doing well and back on your feet, will watch it as soon ad I can. Tight lines man.

@@nateroo It’s rare that I get skunked on Folsom, I may not catch the biggest bass outta Folsom but they’re there. I like the challenge and love the lake. Thanks for the view and comment. Tight lines.

@@Bassmandnz dang thanks for the tip. I’ll have to try that. Last week i went up North to Rattlesnake fishin along the way and did ok but nothin big. Got’em on almost everything including a couple on A-Rigs.

@@jasongundros1422 hahaha im really trying to to say “dood” less lol. Its really hard to change that. I appreciate the view/comment.

@@girlfinfishing I love the plopper, its so much fun and easy to use, I need that! Hahaha. Thanks for the view and comment.

@@kevinshowalter7835 yah im sure you’re right, I kept seeing him peckin at baitfish for a couple hours keepin an eye on me lol. Thanks for the view and comment.

@@gospideygo8781 I cant wait for fall time, I was out last week and got 2 on the A-rig!!! Wooo. Missed this week cause I was out at Berryessa. Nice change of pace.

@@brucebroadwater8198 Thanks for the view/comment man. I love top water, was a super fun bite, hopefully it sticks around for a bit longer.

@@d10dozerman2 hahaha thanks man. Appreciate you watchin and your comments as always.

Boy I hope so. Hahahaha. Thanks for the view/comment. Appreciate it.

@@StaceyBuchanan-v2w I’ll check my supplies when I get home and if I have enough I can make’em for you. How many are you looking for?

@@Bassmandnz Thanks man, i ordered a couple finishers. My bro and I went out last week and he got 1 on a spoon. Hopefully this week im gonna run up to Rattlesnake area and try around there.

@@proambass8027 me, too. I’m burnt on Browns and missing the Granite Bay side. I’ll just deal with the dirt 😝

@@proambass8027 stay out of Browns Ravine this week. The Brown in Browns Ravine means something literal this week 😝. Apparently sewage made its way into the lake there.

@@Bassmandnz dood wtf man!!! How can that happen? Theres not even a floating porta potty over there. Thats nastay!! Lmao.

@@proambass8027 It came down from the houses. It’s all over CBS Sacramentos YT channel if you want to watch the clip.
